Abstract

Based on an analysis of the processes in the supply circuit of ozone generators with periodic sinusoidal and pulsed voltages of high duty cycle, it is revealed that when powered by a sinusoidal voltage, a significant part of the energy consumed is spent on heat loss. Only in a small part of the sinusoidal voltage, namely in the zone of reaching the amplitude value, a barrier discharge occurs with the generation of ozone. Therefore, the efficiency ozone generators at sinusoidal voltage do not exceed 2%. When powered by a pulsed voltage, ozone generation occurs almost during the application of the entire voltage pulse; in addition, ozone generation also occurs in the pause between pulses, due to oscillatory processes in the pause between pulses. In addition to a significant increase in ozone yield, there is practically no process of heating the dielectric barrier.
